No, even if I am not a CEO, there's still no reason for any decent person to vote Democrat.
Basically the Republicans screw over everyone except the CEOs and other ultra rich people with their policies.

No, non-interventionism doesn't screw anyone over, by definition. I think what you meant to say is, they don't screw over the CEOs and other ultra-rich people like the Democrats do.

Decent people don't actively attack other people.

We screw over the richest 0.1%, which includes some of our supporters like Warren Buffett and George Soros. Got a problem with that?

What do you think political correctness is?

Something I don't support.

A Democrat president signed the Welfare Reform Bill. He didn't have to.

He signed a Republican bill that his own party never would have passed if they had controlled congress.  He signed it because he was told he'd lose the election if he didn't.

That doesn't mean that the Democratic party is responsible for welfare reform.  Interesting how Democrats now take credit for something they opposed as cruel, mysogynistic, etc. at the time it was proposed.

Clinton could have vetoed it.

It got way more than a two-thirds majority in both houses.

No.
256-170 in the House.
